t.v.---my day is being spent cleaning up the new bbq for the labor day event here at casa de socal. btw, all AIM bb's are welcomed to attend, however anyone from dairyland, must bring me fresh brats. don't know if the craze has hit the midwest yet, but out here in la-la land, gas bbq "structures" are the latest happening. it's not the size of your car (large) or the size of your cell phone (small) that matters anymore. it's btu city and i've got 72, 000 of them puppies ready to roar through my new LYNX 36" grill and matching side burner. electric rotisserie of course, high gloss stainless steel with seamed borders. next to the grill is 30x30 countertop sittting over the refrigerator. down on the other end is my favorite, the "cocktail pro." double sink, faucet, front bottle holder, mounted can opener. attached it to the side of the house where the gas line came out and it's kind of a crooked "l" that extends out 14-15'. from what i've been reading, there are some "u" shaped, 200+ square foot structures that are topping out at about $40K. way over my budget, but i still spent more money on something to cook outdoors with that ran into 5 figures compared to my first bbq that i would guess cost about $9.99. ah, the excesses of the good life. basking in bakersfield

Hi, Tom. I did the "daughter off to college" routine two weeks ago, and had a similar 3rd floor 92 degrees situation to deal with as well. However, when we pulled up to the dorm, we were instructed to unload the Jeep at curbside and then go immediately to the parking area. After unloading, a group of upper-class students swarmed on the belongings and whisked them up to her room in nothing flat. I didn't have to carry anything myself. Then, when I made arrangements to "lease" the bed/loft structure, some guy came in and put it all together for us. And here I brought my screwdriver for nothing. The six-hour drive was a real pain in the butt, however. It's now pretty quiet here at home with our one and only gone. <sigh> Sincerely, RFH
